HWS Summer on the Farm

History

Our Sons and Daughters School was founded in 2009 by a group of parents and teachers passionate about Waldorf Education with one small early childhood group, operating out a living room in Sagaponack. Over the years, with the support of many educators, parent and other community members, it has since grown to offer Parent-Child classes (for children 12 to 36 months), two fully enrolled Children's Garden (for children 2.5 to 6 year olds) and a satellite Summer on the Farm program at Fireplace Farm in East Hampton. In 2017, the school became a fully accredited member of the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America (WECAN) joining hundreds of schools across North America as official representatives of Waldorf Education.

Specialties

This program fosters healthy development of the whole child through an innovative and richly artistic Waldorf curriculum. Creatively integrated into the daily rhythm are the practical learning experiences that take place on a farm. Experienced Waldorf educators carefully balance each day to include PLAY, ART and REAL WORK on a real, working farm.
